No person to whom a permit has been issued shall transfer, assign, or convey such permit to another person for the purpose of completing the work for which the permit was issued. When the permit holder to whom the permit has been issued no longer has a vested interest in the project or is no longer responsible for the project or work covered by the permit, the permit shall automatically become null and void. No person shall proceed with such a project or work without first obtaining a new permit from the chief building official. (Ord. 2011-026 § 3; Ord. 2010-014 § 2)
